Sara Teasdale的忘记它

忘记它

忘记它，就像忘记一朵花，

忘记它，就像忘记曾经炙烤真金的火焰

永远，永远地忘记，

时间是良友，让我们成熟。

如果有人问，就说很久以前

就已经忘记，

像花，像火，像一阵轻轻的脚步

在一场早已淡忘的雪。

Let It Be Forgotten---Sara Teasdale

Let it be forgotten, as a flower is forgotten,

   Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold,

Let it be forgotten for ever and ever,

   Time is a kind friend, he will make us old.

If anyone asks, say it was forgotten

   Long and long ago,

As a flower, as a fire, as a hushed footfall

   In a long forgotten snow.
